126403 2003-03-07 10:43:00 I recently downloaded the above driver - ver 41.09 for XP. I tried to install it just now but Windows' alert message says that this driver has not passed the Windows Test and it recommended me to stop installing this driver.

Now, shall I or shall I not install this driver?


Cheers

126404 2003-03-07 11:07:00 it hasn't met the WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) grade yet. In general though nVidia drivers are fairly good. I'm running that same one at the moment and having no problems. -=JM=- (16)

Good enough for me to spend $90 after installing the latest one on my computer. Broke the monitor and had to get it fixed

126406 2003-03-07 11:34:00 Really?

How did it do that? I haven't heard of that before.

126407 2003-03-07 12:02:00 So, to be on the safe side, leave it for the time being .

After all, my current driver from Windows is working fine!?

126408 2003-03-07 12:15:00 theres no way it would "break" a monitor, so you are quite safe from that.
worse think is if it conflics with some of the old leftovers of the early drivers.

if you have XP/w2k the offical 43.00 drivers are out if you are keen to try.

126409 2003-03-07 20:59:00 where do you find the 42.00 drivers. At NVIDIA they only have 41.09 mejobloggs (264)
126410 2003-03-07 23:22:00 look here (www.majorgeeks.com) and download here (ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/Quadro_Certified/43.00/4300for2KXP.zip)

if in doubt please stick to the 41.09's.
